PREFACE. 


This,  the  second  part  of  the  Klauder  sale,  comprises  the  cream  of  the  collec¬ 
tion.  While  almost  every  article  will  appeal  to  the  connoisseur,  there  are 
many  pieces  in  the  collection  which  are  especially  rare. 

The  collection  of  tea  howls  and  tea  jars  is  probably  unique,  and  each  bowl 
and  jar  is  enclosed  in  a  cover  of  Japanese  cloth  of  the  same  period,  as  the 
pottery. 

The  collection  of  inros  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful  in  the  country,  comprising 
about  100  examples  of  both  ancient  and  modern  workmanship.  The 
ivories  are  unusually  fine.  The  collection  of  sword  guards  and  ornaments 
includes  a  number  of  exquisite  examples,  both  ancient  and  modern,  in  iron, 
bronze  and  gold. 

There  are  about  thirty  Chinese  and  Oriental  rugs,  including  a  Rose  of 
Persia,  an  antique  Kermanshah  and  a  number  of  antique  Chinese  rugs 
of  Tiger  Tooth  and  other  rare  patterns. 

Special  note  should  be  made  of  the  lacquers,,  including  many  beautiful 
examples  of  this  art,  in  lunch  boxes,  writing  cases,  etc. 

Of  single  pieces,  probably  the  rarest  is  a  bronze  Buddha  of  heroic  size 
(about  ten  feet  high,  including  pedestal),  which  is  one  of  ten,  the  other  nine 
now  being  in  the  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art  in  New  York.  This  piece 
and  a  bronze  temple  bell  are  both  of  ancient  workmanship,  and  beautifully 
lacquered.  There  are  also  two  cabinets,  one  of  gold  lacquer  and  one  of  black 
lacquer,  beautifully  carved,  which  was  purchased  from  the  Bishop  collection. 

The  Kakemonos,  of  which  there  are  about  thirty,  were  purchased  at  the 
time  of  the  Centennial,  before  this  country  was  flooded  with  cheap  and  spuri¬ 
ous  Japanese  goods,  and  include  examples  of  some  of  the  great  masters  of 
Japan.  There  are  also  a  number  of  Japanese  and  Flemish  tapestries, 
some  of  which  are  rare  and  all  of  which  are  beautiful. 

The  last  day's  sale  will  comprise  the  modern  paintings  of  the  estate, 
included  among  which  are  examples  by  Karl  Daubigny,  Michel,  Rousseau, 
William  T.  Richards,  Dietrich ,  Carl  Koss  and  a  number  of  canvases  by 
other  almost  equally  well  known  artists. 

The  collection  will  be  on  exhibition  Thursday,  Friday  and  Saturday, 
May  11th,  12th  and  13th.

MICHEL  (Georges),  Deceased. 

Born  in  Paris,  1763. 

Died,  1843. 

Pupil  of  Taunay. 

The  artist  was  neglected  during  his  life,  but  his  paintings  are  now 
sought  for  by  connoisseurs.  He  is  represented  in  the  Louvre 
and  other  public  galleries.  He  never  went  further  than 
the  hills  and  plains  of  Montmarte  till  he  died  in  1843.  There 
he  daily  worked,  the  Constable  of  Frame.  He  never  signed 
his  pictures  nor  made  any  effort  to  sell  them.  He  laughingly 
said  there  was  but  one  Michel,  and  there  never  would  be 
another.  A  large  number  of  his  pictures  were  distributed 
at  his  death,  and  after  nearly  half  a  century  the  tardy  im¬ 
mortality  expected  has  come.
